We rate it 71/2 out of 10!

BetFair Poker launched it's own software in 2006 after separating itself from the Cryptologic network. They did this on the back of their success in the sportbook side of their business. This meant they ended up with a very different looking Poker Room to the one we were used to before.

We think BetFair Poker is OK - it is down to taste really and whilst it is not the best looker around it still functions perfectly well, and player numbers are on the increase, so there are no shortage of games to join.

BetFair do well when offering good prize pots etc... and every Sunday you can get involved in the $55,000 guaranteed tournie, with free qualifying satellites available. This is just one of 70 guaranteed tournies BetFair hold every week!

BetFair Poker also has some very good bonus opportunities to offer and entice new players.
They have the best refer a friend scheme available as far as we are aware, giving you the chance to earn $100 for every friend you refer and they get $50 too!

Unlike most Online Poker Rooms, BetFair Poker does not offer a first deposit bonus match. Not good, you may be thinking? Well, we like bonus matches, however BetFair do have a good alternative.

They are offering all new players to Betfair a welcome bonus of up to $150, but in a slightly different way to the norm.

There is no matching deposit - you simply start earning your bonus from your first hand played.

The Minimum deposit on Betfair Poker is $20 and In addition to receiving a bonus the points you earn (BetFair Player Points) by playing poker will also reduce the commission rate you pay on the betting Exchange.

The bonus will be paid every Wednesday and is effective from first hand played.
This is the format:

* Sign up using the promotional code BFP150
* Start playing poker to receive bonus
* Receive a bonus of up to $150 based on the number of Betfair Points generated
* Bonus is effective from your first hand played
* Bonus is valid for 60 days only
* Bonus is paid every Wednesday for Betfair Points generated in the previous week i.e. you will receive $10 if you generate 400 Betfair Points
* Payments are made in increments of $10

This is all a bit more complicated than just giving you the bonus match, but hey, it's still free dosh!

BetFair Poker pride themselves in their customer service and now offer free live support, so if you have any questions you can ask straight away!

To sum up, BetFair is, in our opinion, not quite up there with the big boys - yet, but it is growing at a fast rate and is still worth a look as it is still better than a lot of other poker Rooms.
